Amount"),  par value $.001 per share (the  "Common  Stock"),  at price per share
equal to the  Purchase  Price,  as that term is  defined in the  Standby  Equity
Distribution Agreement.  The Placement Agent services shall consist of reviewing
the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution  Agreement and advising the Company
with respect to those terms.

      All capitalized  terms used herein and not otherwise  defined herein shall
have the same  meaning  ascribed to them as in the Standby  Equity  Distribution
Agreement. The Investor will be granted certain registration rights with respect

Commission,  this  Agreement,  the Standby Equity  Distribution  Agreement,  the
Registration  Rights  Agreement,  and the Escrow Agreement dated the date hereof
(the "Escrow Agreement"),  are referred to sometimes hereinafter collectively as
the "Offering  Materials." The Company's  Common Stock purchased by the Investor
hereunder  is  sometimes  referred  to  hereinafter  as  the  "Securities."  The
Placement Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Securities.

      2. Compensation.

            A. Upon the execution of this Agreement,  the Company shall issue to
the Placement Agent or its designee  shares of the Company's  Common Stock in an

The Placement Agent shall be entitled to "piggy-back" registration rights, which
shall be  triggered  upon  registration  of any  shares of  Common  Stock by the
Investor  with  respect  to  the  Placement   Agent's  Shares  pursuant  to  the
Registration Rights Agreement dated the date hereof.

preparing to defend or defending any action,  suit or proceeding,  including any
inquiry or investigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in
appearing  or  preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any  action,  suit or
proceeding,  including any inquiry, investigation or pretrial proceeding such as
a deposition)  to which the Placement  Agent or such  indemnified  person of the
Placement  Agent may become  subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules
and Regulations, or any other federal or state law or regulation,  common law or
otherwise,  arising  out of or based  upon (i) any untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue  statement  of a  material  fact  contained  in  (a)  Section  4 of  this
Agreement,  (b) the Offering Materials (except those written statements relating
to the Placement Agent given by the Placement Agent for inclusion therein),  (c)
any  application  or other  document  or written  communication  executed by the
Company or based upon written information  furnished by the Company filed in any
jurisdiction  in order to qualify  the Common  Stock under the  securities  laws
thereof,  or any state  securities  commission  or agency;  (ii) the omission or
alleged omission from documents  described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above of a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements

damage,  liability,  cost  or  expense  actually  and  reasonably  paid  by  the
indemnified  person as to which the Company has indemnified such person pursuant
hereto.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of this Paragraph  7(A), any
such payment or reimbursement by the Company of fees,  expenses or disbursements
incurred by an indemnified person in any proceeding in which a final judgment by
a court of competent  jurisdiction  (after all appeals or the expiration of time
to appeal) is entered  against the Placement  Agent or such  indemnified  person
based upon specific finding of fact that the Placement Agent or such indemnified
person's gross negligence or willful  misfeasance will be promptly repaid to the
Company.

            B. The Placement Agent hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold
the Company and each officer, director, shareholder,  employee or representative
of the  Company,  and each person  controlling,  controlled  by or under  common
control  with the  Company  within the  meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section  20 of the 1934 Act or the  Rules  and  Regulations,  harmless  from and
against any and all loss, claim, damage,  liability,  cost or expense whatsoever
(including,  but not  limited  to, any and all  reasonable  legal fees and other
expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with investigating,  preparing
to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry or
investigation,  commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing
or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any action,  suit or  proceeding,
including  any  inquiry,   investigation  or  pretrial   proceeding  such  as  a
deposition) to which the Company or such  indemnified  person of the Company may
become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or
any other federal or state law or regulation,  common law or otherwise,  arising
out of or based upon (i) the material  breach of any  representation,  warranty,

false or misleading information provided to the Company in writing by one of the
Placement Agent's indemnified persons specifically for inclusion in the Offering
Materials.

            C. The Investor  hereby  agrees that it will  indemnify and hold the
Placement   Agent  and  each  officer,   director,   shareholder,   employee  or
representative of the Placement Agent, and each person  controlling,  controlled
by or under  common  control  with the  Placement  Agent  within the  meaning of
Section  15 of the 1933 Act or  Section  20 of the  1934  Act or the  Rules  and
Regulations,  harmless  from  and  against  any and  all  loss,  claim,  damage,
liability,  cost or expense whatsoever  (including,  but not limited to, any and
all  reasonable  legal fees and other  expenses  and  disbursements  incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action, suit
or proceeding, including any inquiry or investigation,  commenced or threatened,
or any claim whatsoever or in appearing or preparing for appearance as a witness
in any action,  suit or  proceeding,  including  any inquiry,  investigation  or
pretrial  proceeding  such as a deposition) to which the Placement Agent or such
indemnified person of the Placement Agent may become subject under the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or any other  federal or state law or
regulation,  common  law or  otherwise,  arising  out of or  based  upon (i) the
conduct of the Investor or its  officers,  employees or  representatives  in its
acting  as the  Investor  for the  Offering,  (ii) the  material  breach  of any
representation,  warranty,  covenant or  agreement  made by the  Investor in the
Offering Materials, or (iii) any false or misleading information provided to the
Placement Agent by one of the Investor's indemnified persons.

            D. The Placement Agent hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold
the Investor and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative
of the  Investor,  and each person  controlling,  controlled  by or under common
control  with the  Investor  within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section  20 of the 1934 Act or the  Rules  and  Regulations,  harmless  from and
against any and all loss, claim, damage,  liability,  cost or expense whatsoever
(including,  but not  limited  to, any and all  reasonable  legal fees and other
expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with investigating,  preparing
to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry or
investigation,  commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing
or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any action,  suit or  proceeding,
including  any  inquiry,   investigation  or  pretrial   proceeding  such  as  a
deposition) to which the Investor or such indemnified person of the Investor may
become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or
any other federal or state law or regulation,  common law or otherwise,  arising
out of or based  upon  the  material  breach  of any  representation,  warranty,
covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in this Agreement.


                                       10

            E.  Promptly  after  receipt  by an  indemnified  party of notice of
commencement  of any action covered by Section 7(A),  (B), (C) or (D), the party
to be indemnified shall,  within five (5) business days, notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement  thereof; the omission by one (1) indemnified party to
so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligation to indemnify any other  indemnified  party that has given such notice
and shall not relieve the  indemnifying  party of any liability  outside of this
indemnification  if not  materially  prejudiced  thereby.  In the event that any
action is brought against the indemnified  party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate  therein and, to the extent it may desire, to assume and
control  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  chosen by it which is  reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such  indemnified  party of its election to so assume the defense  thereof,  the
indemnifying  party  will not be liable to such  indemnified  party  under  such
Section  7(A),  (B),  (C), or (D) for any legal or other  expenses  subsequently
incurred by such indemnified  party in connection with the defense thereof,  but
the  indemnified  party may, at its own expense,  participate in such defense by
counsel  chosen by it,  without,  however,  impairing the  indemnifying  party's
control  of  the  defense.   Subject  to  the  proviso  of  this   sentence  and
notwithstanding  any other  statement  to the  contrary  contained  herein,  the
indemnified  party or  parties  shall  have the right to choose its or their own
counsel  and  control  the  defense  of any  action,  all at the  expense of the
indemnifying  party  if (i) the  employment  of such  counsel  shall  have  been
authorized in writing by the  indemnifying  party in connection with the defense
of  such  action  at  the  expense  of  the  indemnifying  party,  or  (ii)  the
indemnifying  party shall not have employed counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to
such  indemnified  party to have charge of the  defense of such action  within a
reasonable  time  after  notice of  commencement  of the  action,  or (iii) such
indemnified  party or parties shall have reasonably  concluded that there may be
defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those
available  to one  or  all  of the  indemnifying  parties  (in  which  case  the
indemnifying  parties  shall not have the right to direct  the  defense  of such
action on behalf of the  indemnified  party or parties),  in any of which events
such  fees  and  expenses  of one  additional  counsel  shall  be  borne  by the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially  similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction  arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstance,  be liable for the  reasonable  fees and expenses of more than one
separate  firm of attorneys  at any time for all such  indemnified  parties.  No
settlement of any action or  proceeding  against an  indemnified  party shall be
made without the consent of the indemnifying party.

            F. In  order to  provide  for just  and  equitable  contribution  in
circumstances in which the indemnification  provided for in Section 7(A) or 7(B)
is due in accordance  with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be
unavailable  on grounds of policy or  otherwise,  the Company and the  Placement
Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses,  claims, damages and liabilities
(including  legal or other expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection with the
investigation  or defense of same) which the other may incur in such  proportion
so that the  Placement  Agent  shall be  responsible  for  such  percent  of the
aggregate of such losses,  claims,  damages and  liabilities  as shall equal the
percentage of the gross  proceeds  paid to the  Placement  Agent and the Company
shall be responsible for the balance;  provided,  however, that no person guilty
of fraudulent  misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent  misrepresentation.  For  purposes of this Section  7(F),  any person
controlling,  controlled by or under common control with the Placement Agent, or
any partner,  director,  officer,  employee,  representative or any agent of any
thereof,  shall have the same rights to  contribution as the Placement Agent and
each person controlling,  controlled by or under common control with the Company
within  the  meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act
and each officer of the Company and each  director of the Company shall have the
same rights to contribution  as the Company.  Any party entitled to contribution
will,  promptly after receipt of notice of commencement  of any action,  suit or
proceeding  against such party in respect of which a claim for  contribution may
be made against the other party under this Section 7(D),  notify such party from
whom contribution may be sought,  but the omission to so notify such party shall
not relieve the party from whom  contribution  may be sought from any obligation
they may have hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom  contribution may be
sought is not materially prejudiced thereby.


                                       11
<PAGE>

            G. The  indemnity  and  contribution  agreements  contained  in this
Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect  regardless of any
investigation  made by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any termination
of this Agreement.

            H. The Company  hereby waives,  to the fullest  extent  permitted by
law, any right to or claim of any  punitive,  exemplary,  incidental,  indirect,
special,  consequential or other damages (including, without limitation, loss of
profits)  against the Placement Agent and each officer,  director,  shareholder,
employee or representative  of the placement agent and each person  controlling,
controlled  by or under  common  control  with the  Placement  Agent  within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules
and Regulations arising out of any cause whatsoever (whether such cause be based
in  contract,   negligence,   strict   liability,   other  tort  or  otherwise).
Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein,  the  aggregate
liability  of the  Placement  Agent  and each  officer,  director,  shareholder,
employee or representative  of the Placement Agent and each person  controlling,
controlled  by or under  common  control  with the  Placement  Agent  within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules
and  Regulations  shall not exceed the  compensation  received by the  Placement
Agent  pursuant to Section 2 hereof.  This  limitation of liability  shall apply
regardless of the cause of action,  whether contract,  tort (including,  without
limitation,  negligence)  or breach of statute or any other  legal or  equitable
obligation.

      8. Payment of Expenses.

      The Company  hereby agrees to bear all of the expenses in connection  with
the Offering, including, but not limited to the following: filing fees, printing
and duplicating costs, advertisements, postage and mailing expenses with respect
to the  transmission of Offering  Materials,  registrar and transfer agent fees,
escrow agent fees and expenses,  fees of the Company's  counsel and accountants,
issue and transfer taxes, if any.

      9. Conditions of Closing.

      The Closing  shall be held at the offices of the  Investor or its counsel.
The  obligations  of the  Placement  Agent  hereunder  shall be  subject  to the
continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the
Investor  herein  as of the  date  hereof  and as of the  Date of  Closing  (the
"Closing Date") with respect to the Company or the Investor, as the case may be,

thereof, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Investor, their counsel and the Placement Agent.

            B. At or prior to the Closing,  the Investor and the Placement Agent
shall have been furnished such  documents,  certificates  and opinions as it may
reasonably  require for the purpose of enabling  them to review or pass upon the
